Friehtful Accident.

On Friday last the saw mill of Mr.. John
Batdorf, at Damascus, in Liberty township,
was the scene of frightful accident, which
resulted in the death of 16 year old son of
Mr.. Batdorf. We CLEAN the following particu-
lars from County Commissioner Daum, who
lives in the neighborhood: The father was
away from home that day, and neighbor
coming to the mill wishing some corn ground
(there was a corn crusher connected with
the saw mill) Mahlon, the son, volunteered
to start the machinery and accommodate the
neighbor, which was against the wishes of
his mother, who advised him to leave the
machinery alone. The mill was started, and
in attempting to place band on wheel the
young man used slender rail, which broke,
throwing him down among the wheels and
machinery of the saw mill, in which he was
caught, crushing one arm to jelly from the
fingers to the shoulder, braking his hip, and
otherwise frightfully mangling him. The
young man had revolver in his hip pocket,
which clogged the machinery, or he would
have been ground to pieces, It took the COM
bined effort of seven neighbors to extricate
the young man, who was wedged in the ma
chinery. DR.. Haag was summoned, who did
all in his power to alleviate the sufferings Of
the poor fellow, but life was extinctt two hours
after the accident. The young man was con-
scious to the last, and seeing his mother
weeping beside his bed he said: "Don't
cry, mother, will be all right in few days,
with the exception of my arm" The terrible
accident cast deep gloom over the entire
and many were the expressions
Of sympathy for the bereaved parents.

CoIdwater Railroad.

Coldwater is all agog over the prospect of
the old Coldwater, Mansfield and Lake Michi-
gan railroad, which was graded and provided
with bridges number of years ago, but never
ironed. The stockholders all along the line
are granting powers of attorney to John P.
Carrothers and ex-Gov. Foster of Ohio, who
will take the necessary steps to complete it.
The understanding is that ample capital has
now got hold of the road, and its early COM
pletion is expected. About $4,000 of stock
held there has already been put in charge of
Messrs. Corrothers and Foster, and large
amount more will be.-Grand Ledge (Mich.)

They all Like 1t.

All who have tried the paints sold at Saur
& Balsley's Paint Store like it. They give
universal satisfaction, and why not, they are
warranted to do SO. They are cheap; they do
not fade; they do not crack and peel off, but
on the contrary, present nice smooth and
glossy appearance for years. These paints
are put up in all shades and colors in general
use, and can be bought in any quantity de-
sired. They are prepared ready for use; no
expert is needed to mix it; almost any one
who can handle n brush can apply it. The
many long years of experience this house has
had with different kinds of paint, enables
them to Judge of that which is best as we'll
as the cheapest and that out of which every
man will receive the greatest beneftwho will
use it on their buildings.

Two Freight Trains Collide.

Especial to the bee
NAPOLEON, May 23.-What might have been
terribly fatal accident occurred on the
Wabash road yesterday morning near Mon
clova, where two freight trains collided, de-
molishing two engines, wrecking and burn
ing several cars, and seriously injuring Abe
Shepherd, brakeman. The accident was
caused by the telegraph operator having fall
len asleep and allowing train 5S bound east
to pass without orders. After Zellers (the
operator) learned what he had done, he
notified the agent that between himself and
the dispatcher collision had occurred, and
he was going to fly. He then went to Rus
Jones' livery stable, walked up the stable boy
and with a driver drove north. Where he is
gone no one knows. If Shepherd dies the
authorities will probably find him, however.

vantages are of a superior order, which are

prospects for additional railroad facilities

is the time to invest in Napoleon real estate,
